Hat can you take 3 weeks out?

Lots of people take milk of magnesia. I can't stomach the thought of that one. I have been taking Miralax powder. You may want to check with your surgeon about what they suggest. Good luck because I know that is a miserable feeling.

I am 5 weeks out and I had been taking amitiza (like a prescription of colace) and then using suppositories which cause issues if used daily. My doctor is now allowing me to start back on metamucil (benefiber).

I will try 1/2 dose tonight. I took it up until liquid pre-op for the past year.

I definitely could use a Water in Water out day for sure.

Call your doctor and get their recommendation first and foremost though. It has calories and carbs and you need to make sure your sleeve is healed before taking it.

Last time I was at the dr I asked if I could take any pills at all...he said if its the size of a baby aspirin. Do you think I could take Correctol pills yet since they are tiny?

I add a teaspoon of benefiber to my Protein shakes. I can't taste it but it does work.
